Charming

We loved the place. It is in the old city, among the cobblestones and wonderful old buildings. Restaurants and stores are a wonderful 5 minute walk. The place was clean, had a great view to the sea through the town and was stocked with everthing we needed. The TV did not have cable but a vast assortment of English DVD's. I would have liked something more than Masterpiece Classics and UK Movies but the charm of the place and the trips to the sea were more than special. The only bed in the living room was a pull out though and was not comfortable for two. We slept on the couch instead and that was the only set back. The shower was also very tight but that is Europe.

Charming taste of old Menton

I spent two weeks in this flat. It is a large studio with everything you need. A very pleasant place. I still miss opening those old shutters and seeing the beautiful Mediterranean every morning. The view from the other windows is just as nice, looking onto a small private garden. Menton is a quiet and peaceful city, one of my favorites. And I discovered, through a friend's tip, one of the best restaurants there which I highly recommend: L'O à la bouche just down the street from the Hotel Napoleon. Be aware that this flat is on the third floor so you need to be agile.

This is a large studio flat with stunning views. On one side you see the beautiful Mediterranean; on the other side you look onto a pretty private garden. There is no feeling in the world like opening those age-old shutters (les persiannes) and taking a look at the beauty of the sea and the old rooftops and the garden. The flat has everything you need and the area is quiet. It's within walking distance to everything in the city of Menton. The best restaurant in the city is a little place along the seafront, heading south from the Hotel Napoleon, it's called "L'O à la Bouche, 59, Porte de France, 06500, Menton. You will be charmed by this property, the neighborhood and the city of Menton.

A great studio in a wonderful location. The apartment is situated in the old town on top a hill, a short walk to either the beach or the old town. The old town has several dining and shopping options. Monte Carlo is a short 15 minute train ride and Nice is right around a half hour by train. The apartment itself has everything you'll need, my wife and I were traveling for 4 weeks (only a week in Menton), so it was nice to have some home cooked meals. On a couple of days when the weather was less than agreeable I enjoyed reading by the window with its million dollar view. Jill the owner provides great information for activities, travel, dining and even internet options. Thank you Jill for sharing your apartment with s, if we are ever lucky enough to be in this part of the world again we will definately check your availability.

This was our first time using the VRBO site and I must admit we were very nervous using the site. So those of you reading this and are feeling the same way, don't worry. This apartment was just what we were looking for. Every morning we would open the shutters and see the beautiful Mediterrean. The location of this apartment is fabulous. Close to everything in town. We took day trips to all the towns on the Rivieria. Menton was the best place to stay. Thanks Jill

Owner response:Brian and wife were very positive and appreciative throughout their stay, keeping in regular contact. Thankyou

I stayed in this lovely apartment in May and found it very comfortable. It is charmingly decorated and is situated right in the center of the old town and very near to the lovely beach. I will definately consider returning and staying here again next year. Full marks to the owner.
